I painted this in the early days of the Iraq War, when the Bush administration was trying to hide the images of American Service Members coming home from the Middle East in coffins. This Memorial Day let us remember and honor those who gave all. #memorialday - ThreadSky

It was shameful that Bush tried to prevent Americans from welcoming back our war dead just to prop up his own (un)popularity. We should have all been there to support the family and honor their service. It was just proof that he knew the premise for the war was a lie. I will never forget.

This was constant during the Vietnam War. Every evening, in the news. 💔

The US had absolutely no business being there in the first place. It was all about oil..

All the more reason to stay out of conflicts that don’t have anything to do with Americans.

I performed at an event at Arlington National Cemetery in those days. There was pipe and drape against the walls. When I snuck behind it, there were 1800 portraits of the service members who died up to that point in the way. The symbolism was deafening.

It’s ironic we’re celebrating those who fought for the rights we are now losing bc of a demented draft dodger & his enablers, the GOP.

It’s my opinion They had advance knowledge of 9-11. I know they were repeatedly warned. Their lies about WMD’s were not working and they had to hide billions that the DOD could not account for.
So they used 9-11 to go to war in Iraq.

With help from FOX Faux News and imitators, Bush launched a public relations campaign to depict such photos as UNPATRIOTIC. Like, after several million white voters joined BLM protesters after George Floyd's murder, President* Trump and FOX Faux News launched the anti-woke public relations scam.

These images always make me sad because young people, in their prime, are killed because of idiot old guys who think war is a game. 🤬

Let’s remember that Saudis flew planes into the towers, and instead of holding Saudi Arabia responsible, the Bush-Cheney Regime needlessly sacrificed American lives to invade, destroy, and occupy a Saudi enemy based on unsubstantiated lies and zero evidence.
